About Rajan

Rajan Christian is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. He focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and challenges with intimacy and self-esteem. Rajan aims to help people untangle everyday pressures so they can make clearer choices and feel more grounded.

He draws on practical talking therapies to address trauma, grief, addictions, and ADHD-related struggles. Rajan has 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults across nonprofit, county behavioral health, school district, outpatient, inpatient, and private settings. That variety informs how he tailors sessions to each person’s needs.

In sessions he uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Existential Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify values, and build workable changes over time.

His background includes crisis response work with suicidal adolescents and adults, and involvement with trauma resiliency efforts. He also has experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, when appropriate.

Rajan communicates in English and works with international clients when that fits the situation. He asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability before beginning work together.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape current reactions. This can be helpful for intimacy and communication concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship so clients can explore their goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will try methods that fit. That conversation is collaborative and may lead to blending approaches over time to see what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick mood check is useful. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let a person join without being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-focused work, and client-centered listening to remote appointments so the practical benefits of therapy fit everyday life.
